Ariselu/ Aathirasallu/ Athirasams were chosen for the Indian Cooking Challenge for February-March 2010. As with every challenge two tried recipes were given. I chose to go with the first recipe which you may read in Srivalli's blog. I skip writing the recipe all over.
I tried with just 200 grams of rice. The jaggery I used was very yielding, so I reduced the quantity to 125 grams (as against the 150 grams given in her original recipe). The result was six pieces of super delicious athirasams. The addition of sesame seeds and cooking poopy seeds are optional.
I would love to try the second recipe at some point of time.
I follow the recipe as posted earlier which works fine for me, yet I would love this for a back up; and that is what the Indian Cooking Challenge is all about - giving better working recipes that can be easily followed by most of us.
Lovely One.. we call it Ariselu.. Looks yummy n perfect.. :)
ReplyDeleteCute and lovely athirasams...
ReplyDeletelooks perfect and yummy..our favourite..welcome back....
ReplyDeleteGood to see u back to blogworld. Akka, Valli had given 250gms of jaggery for the first recipe. Was it a typo. Becoz I followed that I had to add some more rice flour since I felt jaggery was too much, from my previous exp.
ReplyDeleteYours have come out well too. Needless to say you are a pro.
good to see u back with a yummy post lathaji :) nice snaps
ReplyDeleteI tried the first recipe and it failed me... :( I think I messed up the syrup consistency... and second was so easy.
ReplyDeleteThank you all! Jayasree, I followed the recipe in her Cooking4allseasons blog, which was 1kg rice and 750 grams jaggery. This might have been a typo.
ReplyDeletemyspicykitchen, as said above the jaggery quantity might have been more and so it might have been a problem. read her blog where you might find exact measures and method.
